Mars terraforming

[overusedoxymoron2003]

I stated this in another Mars terraforming video, but what would perhaps make terraforming complete, beyond pumping gases into the atmosphere and make it thicker, would be towing a moon into orbit. A moon would churn the martian core, cause marsquakes, and volcanic activity. And statisically, any volcanic eruption would produce hundereds of times more gases than what humanity could accomplish on Mars.

[Mematt120]

@overusedoxymoron2003 another thing could be genetic engineering of a type of Algae that can live in extreme climates, and cultivate A LOT on mars and let it along with volcanic activity produce oxygen and atmosphere. (that was an extremely loose and un-complex version haha)

[SoyBoySigh]

Why not spend the same amount of money, energy, organization, genius, time, etc - on fixing what a mess we've all made down here: in the REAL WORLD? What a disgusting fantasy, just what would "we" be leaving behind on Earth? And what damage would this project itself cause to the Earth? What a total and utter distraction. "Escapism" I guess you could say. There is absolutely nothing up there of use to us, it's all been about GPS guided balistic missiles all along. We won't last long enough anyway

[streincorp]

@SoyBoySigh

The same to say: "Hey Columbus! let's leave your caravels here, there is absolutely nothing over the Atlantic. Earth is flat!

[Evin062008]

@SoyBoySigh Way to go, you very positive man, here is the Noble Prize!!! :D(Sarcasm if you didn't notice.)

[hardstyle905]

@SoyBoySigh As an American YOU really shouldn't be talking. Your ancestors were the ones that escaped. So shut the F*CK up asshole.

[SoyBoySigh]

What the hell do people think they'll find up there that they can't find down here? Intelligent life? Ha! The space race was always about weapons development, and the public image was just a distraction. If Mars could be terraformed, then so too Earth could be protected from any type of mess it could become. So what would it be needed for? To leave behind the undesireables? The entire concept is disgusting. Hottest day on Mars is colder than a winter's day in northern Canada. Ellesmere Island.

[streincorp]

@SoyBoySigh

Oh thanks Mr obvious! Obviously before starting the space era we need to solve problems here on Earth! To reach other planets means also to find new resources for humankind not to exchange the Earth with another planet. And how do you think to solve the problem of overpopulation and lack of resources? killing people? with sterilization and gas chambers?

Scientists are studying dead planets and outer space to understand why our Earth is so delicate, unique and full of life!

[Evin062008]

@streincorp Do the moon next, Please! I beg of you!!!

[mikeohawk95]

unlike the earth marsforming video i hope we can achieve technology to terraform world's to T3 in the video [NOTE: verietie's of planetary plant's come in different types, claiming that the vegetation of mar's might not maybe be green

(possible theory)]

[Mematt120]

@mikeohawk95 isn't the theory that vegetation on other undiscovered T3 planets would probably be colored according to the type of sun it orbits?

[mikeohawk95]

@Mematt120 they COULD be true theories' although not sure it's totally true? But i didn't become fascinated in science for nouthing!!

[mikeohawk95]

@Mematt120 Besides the truth IS ALWAY's changing now & then

[BOKMINKProductions]

ya, Let's fuck up another planet

[mikeohawk95]

@BOKMINKProductions I'M NOT letting ya destroy a plant with life On IT OKEY!! >:(

[RollTideFootball]

@BOKMINKProductions how do you fuck up a dead lifeless planet.

[weedazza21]

so does this mean that Earth will like turn to mars and mars will turn to earth?!

Strange too confusing

Good thing this will happen when im dead

[streincorp]

@weedazza21

... or Mars was like Earth and Earth could turn in a cold Mars or a hot Venus and Venus can be transformed in a Earth-like planet or it was like the Earth but cooked by the Sun and... xD

[DuPuieproductions]

@streincorp OR Earth, Mars ans Venus will all become habitable.

[Mematt120]

@weedazza21 Mars was probably an earth before earth, but not long enough for complex evolution which could explain only finding "possible" bacterial fossils on mars.

[Jeremias98667]

I would love this to actually occur, but thanks to the size of mars, it will never happen D:

Or, it could happen, but for some few, 200 or 10000 years maybe and then it gets fucked again like it happened millons of years ago. Dunno.

[MrAndersohn]

Very cool!

[MrDevil0910]

How do you do them ? I've seen Venus and Earth marsforming ... Have you got particular tool ? How many years do you do graphic ?

Ah ... of course ... you are good! Very good!

[streincorp]

@MrDevil0910 since I was 16 - about 7 years.

I've downloaded the grayscale map of the planet and used it as source for the displace modifier. Then I filled it with water :P

[MrDevil0910]

@MrDevil0910

Ecchecristo! parlare in inglese quando siamo italiani entrambi! Cmq ... te l'ho chiesto perché per quanto pazzo ti possa sembrare mi piacerebbe imparare grafica!! Cmq ... veramente carino! Mi piace!

[wargames43]

mars whas look like that 500.000.000.000.000 years ago it whas on discovery that a metior hit mars like they say now whats gona hit us in 2012 :O

[zedoctor1]

stop saying the world is going to end! We will be dead before the sun blows up so dont whine about it theres no 2012 the scientis are just scarying you

[SniperViper1000]

@zedoctor1 It wasn't even sciencetists would said it dipwad. It was conspiracy theorists.

[rangeclerk]

Some "scientist" PROVE to me that Terraforming of Mars is a vaild scientific possibility. Do not claim; "someday in the future we will have the technology..." that is not science----given the FACT that Mars has no Mag Field (Van Allen Radiation Belt) all sorts of the sun's solar wind (THINK CME's) would fry any possible proto-atmosphere; besides Mars mass is not at the level to hold an earth-type atmosphere. Mars is not massive enough to hold onto that kind of atmosphere

[SniperViper1000]

@rangeclerk Planet Mass and Atmosphere size have no correlation was so ever. Venus for example.

[rangeclerk]

@SniperViper1000 Since when? Venus is not only close in diameter to Earth it is close to the Mass of Earth. Note the "velocity" of Oxygen. GIven the low mass of Mars, Oxygen "escapes" into space. The main POINT of my previous statement has to do with there being no MAGNETIC FIELD surrounding Mars---Mars is NOT generating one, but is should given its rotational velocity---unless---the "outer core" is dead---seized up solid. No Mag field--unable to Terraform--can't happen want to be proven wrong!

[rangeclerk]

@SniperViper1000 Not picking on you but do u know what the milliabars of "pressure" is at the "surface" of Mars? What is it here on Earth surface? 1/2 way up from the Earth's surface?

[PLAlfa]

how to make  texture changing?

[streincorp]

@PLAlfa Save an animation as a sequence of frames then upload its ".ifl" file as a texture.

Otherwise u can directly assign a file .avi as texture

[davidlee110]

why mars got water in the north and land in the south?

[streincorp]

@davidlee110 it's Mars topography,

there is only a big continent in the south and some volcanic islands.

[davidlee110]

@streincorp yea, earth was like that billions of years ago.

mars is too small and dangerous to become life there.

[angryenis1]

Suppose the ice on mars melted that melted water would not take this much surface area

[streincorp]

@angryenis1 no, Mars's Ice caps contains also frozen CO2.

Water should be brought from outside

(but don't ask me where)

[FrigidZero]

@streincorp Perhaps all the water that was once there still is... Much of the Martion suface is permafrost... There are dust storms that blow dust around which can conceal many things... Probes see a large hydrogen signature but it's difficult to see all the water ice to match it. The phoenix lander dug a little and found water ice. Imagine the great glaciers on earth swept over with dust concealing much...

[Kalahridudex]

@streincorp mars has frozen water.

but i think that we can use all that dry ice to our advantage, if we somehow liberate that CO2, global warming will occur on mars which might make it inhabitable.

[FrigidZero]

@angryenis1 Maybe not.... Dust can cover and conceal much.. Think about how much of the martion soil is permafrost(dirt and ice) the hydren signatures from probes sent the says much.. Growing and receeding icecaps? Perhaps the mass portion of ice both CO2 and H2O are covered with blowing dust... Phoenix dugg a little snd found water Ice. Perhaps much if not all the water is still there

[Salien1999]

@angryenis1 Well, there is a very likely theory that water is hidden under the surface, it may be proven, I don't know. But they see water coming out and freezing instantly sometimes, so the water would come out. Depending on how much water that is, the ocean could be made naturally. If not, a company already has invented a way to make water from air. If volcanoes start up again, that means H20 in the atmo, which can be put in the ocean.

[FischKopfD]

the mars looked like this millions of years ago

[Deathencounter]

one problem, th thin atmosphere and low atmosheric pressure on mars meaning not as much air on mars

[streincorp]

The presence of oceans with evaporation and O2 producers (plants, industries...) would encrease mass and thickness of the atmosphere.

But ignoring the lack of magnetic field.

[FrigidZero]

@streincorp Note Venus has a thick atmosphere and no magnetic field... Saturn's moon Titan has lower gravitation(comparable to the moon), lower density, smaller size, and no magnetic field yet it's atmospheric pressure is 50 percent higher than ours.

[bighands69]

@Deathencounter

They are problems no doubt but it may be possible to artificially create these conditions.

If self replicating nanotechnology is achieved it may be possible to Terra form Mars in a matter of weeks or months.

[congressman92maxwell]

This is such a fascinating concept!!

[joanve1]

they forgot just one thing: how to increase Mars gravity??

[streincorp]

why to increase Mars gravity?

[joanve1]

because it's too low . Mars' gravity is less than 35% of our planet. can U imagine what this could do to our bones?

[streincorp]

ah I know. But the terraforming process could take several thousands of years...

so evolution could help our bones xD.

Ok no, but this is a problem for mankind not for terraformed Mars life.

[FrigidZero]

@joanve1 I'm confident our bones can take it... We in the future might be taller with bones of lower density we'll find out on the first moon establishment.... and by the way, Mars gravitation is .38 in respect to ours

[scientificboysclub]

Woow !! this looks realistic

...5/5 !!

streincorp rocks ..

dude where did u get this water Information ?

I mean How it covers ?

[Sonicspartan118]

i think nasa did some radar satellite scans of mars at some point and they could see if there was water where it would stop filling and where the contenants wold be

[streincorp]

yeah I know... but I've simply downloaded an elevation greyscale map (by NASA), trasforming it in a 3d plane and filling with water.

I've covered about 4000 metres like the average depth of Earth's oceans:

so in this way I realized that Mars has a single great continent!

[olegario39]

hmm...just wondering. is there plate tectonics on Mars? i just read that water is very essential for continental shifting because it makes the land easier to move.

BTW....why is it that ice still remain at the north pole when its all water there?

[streincorp]

I know tectonic plates (on Earth) floats over the mantle, so the magma makes the land easier to move:

Mars could have static plates but weld together cause the lack of geological activities.

The north pole... it probably fades and regrows continually like a giant iceberg, but remember that Mars pole is colder than Earth's!

[olegario39]

oh right. i didnt remember that.

[olegario39]

streincorp, can you make a Venus animation getting terraformed?

[streincorp]

It could be more difficult than Mars but...

(I'll try to do this!).

[gfdud33]

oh, and several of Jupiter and Saturn's moons (the ones covered in ice and methane) would be excellent sources of raw materials for terraforming (the methane for the base carbon to jump-start the ecosystem)

[Ozzmaster75]

Do you realize how cold Jupiter and Saturns moons are? Far too cold for everything that makes up an ecosystem to survive.

The atmosphere is nothing short from hell on ones lungs either.Like you said,methane.Imagine farting while laying in bed,and then hanging your head under the covers.Now imagine having to do that 24/7...

[gfdud33]

the point is to take water and raw materials from the moons and move it to mars, where there is a slightly better chance of habitability.

and methane is an excellent source of carbon, which is very useful for growing stuff... don't worry, the atmosphere won't be made of methane.

[Ozzmaster75]

lol my comment was a joke,but thanks.

[A15KaldrinJAB]

there are already large methane pockets in mars.

[gfdud33]

that was awesome. did You use real topography? it looks like it.

[streincorp]

Oh yes sir, I've used a greyscale map like an elevation source and two maps for colors and albedo; downloaded from NASA site.

[gfdud33]

very excellent. that polar ocean would have insane weather... like the roaring 40s only ever so much more so.

and don't you think that a lot of the craters might be worn away by the addition of water during the terraforming process? just a suggestion.

p.s. maybe you should do one with cities visible from space next. (at latitudes where they are visible on earth, of course) good work, man.

[streincorp]

Yeah! u are right, the coasts profile could be more different cause the erosion by ocean,

but this vid was made mainly to show the wide ocean to the northern hemisphere and the supercontinent on south (wow like past Earth!).

- a martian city!? hummm...

I'm going to think about this...

[Darkfoster22]

I'm an terraformer =D I transforming Atheis over 8 poeple so far.

[scientificboysclub]

WOW!! man u r awesome !!

[gfdud33]

the big problem with that is that nuclear radiation is none too healthy... play fallout 3 to get an idea.

[Salien1999]

@gfdud33 I have a design, but I'll keep it to myself until I'm old enough to copyright and release it. Sorry, gonna have to wait a few decades.

[will0ughby]

lets chuck the moon at the ice cap... maybe it will melt

[Darkrai765]

how is that possable?

[streincorp]

I don't know how...

I have simply shown how Mars surface would appear with water.

...maybe deflecting thousands of comets?:-)

[Xaxton2]

But will the face be covered up?

[R4Zy3L]

Well actually some people from NASA studied the picture of the face and they came to a conclusion that when Mars had water that face must have been built on a wet area because of the sines of water erosion and because of how tall it is.

[Xander0388]

Wow Wow Wow....e ancora Wow...beh? che c'è...vedendo un video del genere c'è soltanto una parola da dire

[rockinfetus916]

thats awesome...i always wanted to lived in another planet

[streincorp]

Well... coming soon: landing of "VL-starships" on planet "beta-Lupsor"
